The Big Chill before Chilling out with the Chillers

Bit of a branding opportunity snuggling up to my neighbour on the transfer to the Alps or Dolomites...

Invited on one of Mr Gooding's legendary factory visits to Bluebox in Italy, one of the worlds leading Chiller manufacturers, a few nights on the piste created the right atmosphere beforehand for an excellent working trip.

Wilko ay' lost it, the mid 80's ski-gear from C+A still holding up strong...

Pre the slopes, Gooders delivers one of his infamous motivational speeches (Vancey still nursing last nights lager)

First iSlate User we believe...

...we couldnt contain our joy at taking shipment of what we believe is the first generation of the new iSlate. The simplicity of the keyboard, outstanding pcket-size functionality and really big buttons are marvellous. I have used this now for 2 minutes and cant see how I can live without it.

Wilkinson vs Wilkinson

Walsall 5ths, Whittington Vets and Clifton Rats ex-pro A Wilkinson (front) taking a rest from some specialist kicking coaching to protege J Wilkinson (rear) at Twickenham recently.

'Coach W' as he is affectionately known commented "Yes I do believe the younger Wilkinson took his inspiration from watching the infamous '91 narrow victory over Wednesbury 2nds, from there we developed a unique coaching relationship. His progress has been excellent and its good to see it has paid off"
